PM981

After swapping the PM991 ssd with a PM981 I decided to try hackintoshing and it works pretty well. Did the EFI mostly myself but pulled a few things from valonxy’s T480 EFI. The touch screen etc. all work, the only thing that doesn’t is thunderbolt 3 but since I am probably not going to use it I am

Processor: Intel: 10th gen or older (anything newer is not supported) AMD: Any Ryzen CPU with integrated graphics up to 7000 series Graphics: 90% of laptops use integrated graphics so as long as it is 10th gen Intel or older or AMD you are fine. But if it is a laptop with a dedicated graphics chip a

If you’re kernel panicking when you start the download it’s likely a compatibility problem with your SSD. Since it’s a Samsung 980 it’s probably incompatible, Samsung NVMes are not supported. Some might work but others like the PM981 are absolutely not supported and despite what a few people who hav

tried nvme=-1, it doesn t work, the bootloader gets stuck(but doesn t throw a kernel panic though), the bios sadly doesn t support disabling pci e lanes, but i will look into the ssdt files. the thing is one of my nvmes is a Samsung pm981 which seems to be notorious for this kind of kernel panic, wi

It runs very smoothly. And I feel your struggle with the NVMe – my T480s came shipped with an incompatible 512G Samsung PM981 NVMe, ordered a 512G WD SN730 a week ago but still didn't arrive so I ended up saying "fuck it" and buying a 1T Kingston NV3 from a local store and this one works like a char

I’ve hackintoshed this exact same setup so it’ll work fine. Only thing you’ll need to change is the Samsung SSD for a WD Black because I’m guessing it’s a PM981 (very common) which isn’t compatible at all. Just a warning, the kext for graphics doesn’t work with chromium acceleration so Google chrome

You’ll need: External SSD / enclosure Steps: Install Windows to the external SSD Boot into Windows Install VMWare Install macOS via DMG to the NVMe SSD through VM Build an Opencore EFI on a USB stick Boot the Samsung SSD from the USB stick EFI Deal with endless glitching and unreliable boot because

That's fair. My question, asking if it was a Gen4 drive, was based on the fact I only use Gen3 SSDs in these older devices. I have Hynix BC501 for WWAN slots, and normally use Hynix PC711 for full size slots, but have a few OEM Samsung (I think PM981) too. I haven't ran in to any heat problems with

macOS installer time estimation is indeed trash, normally it tooks around 1 hours to finish the installation depend on drive speed and network speed. but check your SSD. You're using a Samsung PM981 (MZVLB...), which is notorious for freezing at the 12-minute mark in macOS. You might needNVMeFix.kex

I had a similar issue when I installed OpenCore on the Thinkpad T480 but the only way was to use a different SSD. Edit: the SSD that refused to work was Samsung MZ-VLB2560 (PM981)
